Remember your childhood

Remember your childhood, the time when you imagined your future life, profession, hobbies, and family. Now, look at the life you have now. Is it close to the one you imagined?
These days I can't get one idea out of my head. What if it is possible to meet that dreaming child from your past. What would this kid tell you about the reality that you have now?
Sometimes I think that I let myself down. Indeed, there are a lot of things that came true from my childish dreams. But I still have the feeling that I forgot something very important. This is the reason why I think that if we met, the little girl from my past would not be happy for me. Maybe she would say: " Ok, you have a great family, that's cool, but, my dear, you forgot about yourself. What about finding something that you really like to do? What about painting and writing? What about finding a good job? And please don't tell me you have a small kid and don't have time. It is not an excuse for you. You don't try hard. I know you, you can do better." And I really don't know what to answer, because this girl believed in me for so long.
Now I try to make changes in my life. It is time to remember who I really am. I want my daughter to admire her mother. I want to set a good example for her. I hope I'll manage to do all that.
